Solution

  • The model in question is not in the Apple's AirPrint compatible device list and therefor will not work via AirPrint off the shelf.

    Epson has an app on the App Store which has a wizard of setting up such devices either with WiFi or Bluetooth.

    Important note though from Epson:

    If you are developing an iOS App for an Epson MFi series POS printer with Bluetooth, it must be approved by Apple before it is made available in Apple's App Store or Apple's B2B App Store. This does not apply for iOS applications for printers with WiFi connectivity.
